Factorizing an expression involves writing the expression in simpler forms

The values of z are $z = \frac 15$ or $z=4$

The equation is given as:

$5z^2 - 21z + 4 = 0$

Expand the equation

$5z^2 - 20z -z + 4 = 0$

Factorize the expression:

$5z(z - 4) -1(z - 4) = 0$

Factor out z - 4

$(5z - 1)(z - 4) = 0$

Split

$5z -1 = 0$ or $z - 4 = 0$

Solve for z

$z = \frac 15$ or $z=4$

Hence, the values of z are $z = \frac 15$ or $z=4$

Answer:

B : $4x\sqrt{17}$

Step-by-step explanation:

If you divide a rhombus using its diagonals, you get 4 right triangles, whose legs are both 1/2 the length of the diagonals.

This means that the legs of one of those 4 triangles have lengths of 2x/2, and 8x/2, so the legs of one of those triangles x and 4x. This makes the length of one side equal to $\sqrt{x^{2} + (4x)^{2}} = \sqrt{17x^2} = x\sqrt{17}$ . Because all 4 sides are the same length, you multiply this value by 4, and get $4x\sqrt{17}$ , which is B.
